    Dynavap FTW!

    • Keine Verschleißteile (Akku, etc.), nur Stahl. Solange du das Teil nicht verlierst, hälts dir ewig!
    • Erhitzen mit Feuerzeug,
    • Man muss nichts aufladen,
    • Modular und alles nachkaufbar,
    • Sehr leicht zu reinigen,
    • Man kann damit auch Extrakte dampfen,
    • und und und!

    Hatte auch mal einen elektronischen Verdampfer, aber die sind idR. nicht so langlebig…

    I don’t like apt too as much. But, interface-wise, you can make it way better with Nala, which is a frontend for it.

    NixOS is too complicated and demanding for most users, who aren’t programmers or hobbyists, imo.
    I prefer Fedora Atomic. It has the same pros (unbreakable, highly configurable with universal-blue.org, etc.) but feels way more user friendly.
    I use it with Distrobox on top, so I can use my package manager/ distro of choice (turned out to be Arch btw) on a extremely reliable system.

    For your case, you can replicate Mint by just installing the Cinnamon image from uBlue and applying some minimal tweaks.
    Then you get the user friendliness from Mint with the flexibility and unbreakability from NixOS. Do you like the idea? Just in case you get annoyed by NixOS in the future 🙃









  • My recommendation would be to use Logseq.

    It’s similar to Obsidian (“Second Brain”/ PKM), but with the journal function as backbone.

    It relies heavily on crosslinking, is markdown-based, very efficient and a joy to use once you “got” it, and supports a hell lot of features, including TODO, plugins, a knowledge network (“graph view”) and much more.

    I use it for everything (external brain) and pretty much never loved a piece of software this much!
    It sounds like it is THE tool you’re searching for!



  • Great that you looked into the compatibility first. Many solvents can dissolve, or at least swell, parts of the machine.

    The good thing is, solvent isn’t solvent. There are different kinds (polarities, etc.), and maybe something like alcohol might work.
    Problem is, grease is hard to dissolve with those.

    In the industry, you have special “laundry washing machines” (sort of) that work with hot solvent, e.g. benzyl alcohol, since you need movement and heat preferably to clean everything decently.
    Even with a good solvent, degreasing with your washer alone won’t work as great.


    I personally would go for an ultrasound bath. They tend to work more mechanically (phsically) instead of chemically, and with them, you can dissolve the dirt with soapy water pretty easily, without any volatile solvents or risks. You can get a decent one for 50 bucks starting price, or 100 if you want a bit better one.


  • I have no idea what a part washer is, but maybe consider using an ultrasonic cleaner.

    You can then either load it with surfactants (e.g. SLS) in a water phase or with apolar solvents like cineol, terpentine or limonene, which have similar solving capabilities as diesel, but are bio based and not as flammable.

    Using surfactants alone without ultrasound won’t work, but using solvents alone won’t keep the particles in phase, as they would just sink to the bottom.

    If you tell me exactly how this washer looks like/ works and what exactly you wanna clean, I can help you more.
